Zune HD Promo Sept 15

The Zune HD may ship a week later than expected if a Best Buy retail promo is an indicator. Although two previous sources have cited an in-stock date of September 8, Gizmodo now sees a pre-order campaign that will have the Microsoft player available September 15th, or exactly a week later. They additionally confirm 16GB and 32GB versions of the touch player.

Prices don't show in this listing, but Amazon and Best Buy alike have pointed to a $220 price tag on the 16GB model and $290 for a 32GB version. Either is likely to undercut Apple's pricing by about $10 when the iPod maker updates its own touchscreen devices.
